After inviting the four people, Yu Bai stepped aside and made way to the main hall.
This calmness made Li Mingxuan and others feel a little at a loss.
They restrained their inquiring gazes and walked into the main hall of the Yu family courtyard one by one under Jiang Zhou's slightly warning gaze.
The room was simply furnished but spotlessly clean.
Yu Bai didn't say much and turned into the kitchen.
A moment later, she came out with a plate of sliced watermelon and grapes.
But after putting down the fruit, she turned back to the kitchen. Soon, an aroma so strong that it almost became tangible wafted out from the kitchen.
It was the overbearing aroma of tomatoes cooked in hot oil and perfectly blended with eggs.
Just the smell made the Adam's apples of several grown men roll up and down uncontrollably.
Before boarding the plane, they ate the grapes that Jiang Zhou brought them. They felt relaxed and comfortable and were not hungry at all, so they did not eat the airplane meal.
But after several hours of traveling from the capital to this remote mountain village, the feeling of fullness had long disappeared and my stomach was already empty.
"Gurgle..."
I don't know whose stomach protested first.
Embarrassment spread in the air.
Soon, she and Yu Nian came out, each carrying a huge soup bowl.
In the pot, there are red and yellow tomato and egg noodles with rich soup, dotted with green chopped green onions. It is steaming hot and the aroma is overwhelming, forcefully penetrating into everyone's nose.
"Everyone must have had a hard time traveling, just eat something to fill your stomach."
After hearing what Yu Bai said, the four of them stopped being polite and started eating voraciously.
The noodles are chewy, the eggs are tender, and especially the tomatoes, the sweet and sour juice bursts in the mouth, and an indescribable warm current of life flows along the esophagus into the stomach, instantly dispelling all fatigue.
"Hiss... delicious! So delicious!" Li Mingxuan exclaimed incoherently.
Zhao Sihai was speechless and just gave Yu Nian a thumbs up and handed the empty bowl over.
Second bowl.
It is still like a whirlwind.
Not until everyone had eaten two large bowls, collapsed in their chairs, and burped contentedly, did they have time to raise their heads and look at the owner of the house again.
His eyes wandered over Yu Bai.
Very young, very beautiful, with a cool temperament, like a dewy white camellia.
But... an expert?
They looked left and right, but apart from those overly calm eyes, they couldn't see any trace of immortality in him.
His gaze turned to the woman cleaning in the kitchen. It was Yu Bai's mother, Zhou Fengxia.
A typical rural woman, with some traces of time etched on her face, simple and hardworking, she is a far cry from being a "master".
As for Yu Nian, who was as strong as an ox, he looked too simple and honest, but had no dignity at all.
There's something weird about this family.
Things are divine, but people are mortal.
Several gazes were like searchlights, sweeping back and forth over Yu Bai's family unscrupulously.
Jiang Zhou's face darkened.
"Cough! Cough!"
He coughed heavily twice, with a hint of warning and apology in his eyes.
Li Mingxuan and the others immediately withdrew their gazes, but the confusion in their eyes could not be hidden no matter what.
The next second, Jiang Zhou suddenly stood up, and his movements were so fast that the chair made a sharp sound on the ground.
"Let's go after we finish eating."
There was no warmth in his voice, no room for negotiation.
"It's getting late, let's go to the county hotel."
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the lead and walked out. His back was full of the urging of "immediately, right away", and he did not give the four people any chance to stay for even a second longer.
Li Mingxuan and the others looked at each other, and had to hurriedly get up, say goodbye, and follow him.
…
The night was as dark as ink, and two taxis were speeding on a country road.
Inside the car, there was deathly silence.
Finally, Li Mingxuan couldn't help it. He moved to the front row and lowered his voice, as if he was telling something top secret.
"Brother Zhou, that Miss Yu... is she 'that one'?"
Everyone knows who "that person" is.
Jiang Zhou looked straight ahead, without looking back or denying.
In the darkness, he only uttered six words.
"Let's talk about it when we get to the hotel."
These six words, like a huge rock thrown into a deep pool, stirred up waves in the hearts of the four people.
If it’s not a denial, then it’s a tacit agreement!
County Hotel.
Jiang Zhou originally wanted to book a presidential suite to facilitate meetings.
But the front desk clerk told him that the best room in this small place was the deluxe single room.
"Open five rooms, next to each other."
Five room cards were quickly received.
But a strange scene happened.
Although there were five rooms, when Jiang Zhou opened the door of his room, Li Mingxuan, Zhao Sihai and the other four people followed him in like four tails and closed the door with a "bang".
Four pairs of eyes, eight gazes, all locked on Jiang Zhou, burning, eager, and full of desire for answers.
They are waiting.
Wait for Jiang Zhou to reveal the follow-up.
Jiang Zhou faced four burning gazes and finally sighed helplessly.
He didn't say much, but under the scrutiny of several people, he unzipped his backpack and reached in.
When he took it out again, there were a few more rings on his hand.
The rings were thrown casually in the palm of his hand. They were simple in style, even had a rough handmade feel, and there was nothing special about them.
"ring?"
Li Mingxuan frowned and was the first to ask a question.
Zhao Sihai and his companions also looked puzzled.
They went to so much trouble to fly from the capital to this remote place, and Jiang Zhou showed them this?
